A. Angular momentum is always conserved would be the correct answer.

This is because like linear momentum (mvmv), angular momentum (r×mvr×mv) is a conserved quantity, where rr is the vector from the center of rotation. For a skater holding a static pose, for each particle making up her body, the contribution in magnitude to the total angular momentum is given by mirivimirivi. Thus bringing in her arms reduces riri for those particles. In order to conserve angular momentum, there is then an increase in the angular velocity.

hope this helps!

Answer:

A. Angular momentum is always conserved.

Explanation:

When ice skater is spinning then during skating the ice skater have no external torque on his body.

So here we can say

\tau = \frac{dL}{dt}

net torque on a system is rate of change in angular momentum

so here we will have

0 = \frac{dL}{dt}

so we can say

L = constant

so if ice skater bring his arm closed then his angular momentum will remains conserved during this motion

7. How much work is done in moving a charge of 10 micro coulombs 1 meter along an equipotential of 10 volts?
Neko [114]

It takes work to push charge through a change of potential. 
There's no change of potential along an equipotential path,
so that path doesn't require any work.

A wave is traveling through a medium. As it travels, it displaces particles of matter in the same direction as the wave is trave
Alexxandr [17]

<u>Answer</u>

longitudinal wave because the particles move parallel to the direction that the wave is traveling.


<u>Explanation</u>

There are 2 types of a wave, electromagnetic and mechanical wave. These waves can also be categorized into two, longitudinal ans transverse waves.

longitudinal wave is a wave whose particles vibration is in the direction of wave travel.

Transverse wave is a wave whose vibration of particles is perpendicular to the direction of wave travel.
